Vendor Authenticity Check

1A: Vendor Authenticity Check

Vendor Authenticity Check

Sourcing from India can be rewarding — but only when you’re dealing with the right supplier.
For international buyers, verifying whether a company is genuinely registered, financially active, and legally compliant is often the most overlooked yet most critical step.

Many so-called “manufacturers” turn out to be small traders, intermediaries, or even shell companies operating with borrowed credentials. By the time this comes to light, payments are made — and it’s too late to recover losses.

Source With Trust™ protects you from that risk by conducting a comprehensive background verification of your selected supplier — independently, transparently, and without any bias.
We act as your on-ground validation partner in India, ensuring every vendor you shortlist is who they claim to be.

What We Verify:

  • Company registration, GST, PAN, and Import–Export Code (IEC)

  • Physical address confirmation and operational status

  • Ownership and key management details

  • Manufacturing vs. trading activity patterns

  • Export history and reputation checks

  • Bank account authenticity validation (cross-checking beneficiary name and documents with registered legal entity, IFSC/branch verification, and cancelled-cheque confirmation to rule out fraud)

Our process combines document review, government-database checks, and local ground confirmation (where applicable).
You receive a detailed report highlighting red flags, inconsistencies, and our professional recommendation — giving you the power to make informed decisions.

Why It Matters:
Choosing the wrong vendor doesn’t just risk money — it affects timelines, customer commitments, and your brand’s credibility.
One small verification step can prevent months of stress, disputes, and shipment failures.

With Source With Trust™, you start your sourcing journey with clarity, confidence, and complete transparency — because trust begins with verification.
